Sorry, I thought I had it listed in my profile, but it doesn't show up. The car in question is my 1993 300E 3.2L M104 BMG Was the cylindrical base of yours filled with some kind if white putty as well, or is this an indication that it has been apart before?

Aye - I forgot about that stuff - Sorta like silly putty. I used some of that to pack some of the connections at broken conectors.
The injected stuff is a yellowish tough plastic stuff - took forever to peel it off the few shielded wires I did not destroy. After thinking about it, I recall the way to seperate the two pieces. THere is a rubber boot on the female end inside the black housing. Remove that. You can then pull the white plastic insert downwards but only as far as the slack in the wires. Ergo the problem I noted earlier - Very little slack if any. One option is to split the entire black house along its molding line with an exacto knife. If successful, you would have that part in two halves, the wires (fuesed by plastic and putty) and white connector. To reassemble, you would have to glue the housing back along that line. If you fail, time to hit the junkyard. My suggestion if your going to live with a DIY harness, its time to junkyard dive for several connectors. I am pretty sure they are the same for the 280-320 series. By the way - did you rebuild your ETA harness as well?

Thanks for the additional info. I did rebuild the TA harness and all was well for a few months until one of the TA pots died. I replaced the TA at Christmas with a rebuilt one and it seems to be working fine. I'm hoping that the short didn't fry the ECU. As I looked at the problem further, I noticed melted insulation on the primary side connector to the coil pack for cyls 2&5 although the connector itself is not shorted. This is only on this one coil. The other two are perfect. I am having a hard time figuring out how a short at the ecu could result in high heat at the coil pack. Greg |

I called the dealer this afternoon. The parts lady said the part number for the connector is in the system, but none are in the US as they are special order from Germany. She said she would call me tomorrow and let me know price and availability.
BMG Are the ECU's identical as well? Would one from a 280 work in a 300 assuming tthy were both M104's? Greg Last edited by GDC; 02-18-2008 at 05:34 PM. |

When you took yours apart, were the wires soldered or crimped into the connector? Greg |

The connector PN is 000 545 53 81 and the cost is $18.93. They come form Germany and the shipping is 5-7 days. Needless to say, I placed an order.
